Happy National Melissa Day!!! ✨💖✨
Yup, that’s right… apparently my fellow Melissas and I have our own day!?! 🤣 Honestly, I didn't believe it at first. I had randomly stumbled across a Facebook post that said "Happy National Melissa Day" a day after it had passed last year. At the time, I looked it up online... and lo and behold, there it was. It was a real thing! So now that I know this random holiday exists... I intend to make sure that I remember to celebrate!!! 💕👑✨
I knew that the day was off to a good start when Eliot brought inside our mail before leaving for work. The personalized Baublebar necklace that I'd bought a few weeks ago during their spring sale had arrived... a gold bubble necklace with my name and Mickey.
And since today is literally all about celebrating the Melissas in our lives, I decided that I would celebrate me by taking the day off from doing normal stuff. 💕 Things here have kind of been a hot mess lately... and I'm usually desperately trying to make it through my never ending to do list. Instead of stressing about checking things off... I tried to spend some time this afternoon doing a few creative things I’ve been putting off. 🎨
I've bought a lot of new beads and jewelry making supplies over the past few months, so I took a little bit of time today to sit down to organize them and put them all together into a bucket. Then, I cracked open the colorful letter beads and strung together a few words and phrases to make into bracelets- including my name... because it is National Melissa Day after all. 😉 I had visions of actually making the friendship bracelets today, but I'll probably need to put the beads into containers before I can tackle that. Still, this afternoon was very relaxing and creatively gratifying for me.
Hopefully I can carve out some more creative time for myself in the near future. I see a lot of creativity, happiness and new friendship bracelets in my future… °o°
